My son used to bounce a ball off the ceiling, and it was covered with little dirty circles from where the ball hit it. Drove my husband nuts. I’m impressed you are up and typing so soon! Don’t overdo it.

Crack me up – thanks for the visual! I happen to have an embellished ceiling in my 12 year old’s room. Okay, she’s a girl so we’ve never done the spitball thing. You know those brightly colored ooey, gooey little creepy crawler things (think worms)? My daughter must have been bored one day, tore them apart and started throwing them up on her ceiling. To her delight, they stuck. We have a ceiling decorated in all kinds of ooey gooey colorful forms that slightly hang off. We call it the Lily installation!

ROFL. Three years ago two little girls came over to play with my daughter. Things were a little TOO quiet. You know, the kind of quiet that sets the “Mom-dar” off blazing at 1000 db. I went upstairs, walked down the hallway, opened my daughter’s door.

There were the three girls, sitting on my daughter’s top bunk. There was my daughter’s baby doll, taped to the ceiling like a hostage, with push pins stuck in her and green marker all over her face to help emphasize the point. The ceiling fan was spinning on high not too far from the doll.

Needless to say, two girls went home, and I disappeared to the bathroom to die laughing.
